When your life is a complete mess at twenty years old, it's nice. At twenty-seven... not really. My lofty dreams of becoming a real estate agent, paying rent on time, taking a hot shower every day were just dreams. Oh, and what about love? I decided that love might be a little complicated for me at this point. Instead, I'll settle for two guys who never disappoint: Ben & Jerry. This continues until a new veterinarian, Dr. Adam Fox, settles in our city. Thanks to his strong jawline, self-confidence and perfectly body-hugging form, every housewife in Hamilton began taking stray cats for weekly checkups. Like everyone else, I'm intrigued. Even after I've ruined my chance at a good first impression, he still makes me an offer I can't refuse: play his girlfriend at the family barbecue, in which case he'll hire me as his real estate agent. Welcome to the world of love in the 21st century. It's a pity that I underestimated Adam's irrefutable charm and the undeniable attraction that burned between us. The day he pushes me against the wall and shuts me up with a kiss, the line between reality and our little trick blurs. Every teasing touch brings me to my knees. Every kiss promises more. I think my messed up life just got a little hotter.
